Nah, its all games now. People just don’t play that many too know. Gran Tourismo was absolutely broken and you probably heard nothing about it. Over the last half a decade I could make a 40 game list I personally played that were released broken.

CyberPunk is the only game I’ve ever heard of that gave a refund, and that was only if you had the PS4 version ONLY. If you had dual entitlement from the premium edition you got nothing.

A lot of things people consider broken about this game are by design.

When WS players won’t play away games for three years, egos are most certainly on the line.

And even with all that hundreds of thousands of people still do it because it’s insanely fun. The same 6 people just fear monger on here daily and over half of it is lies. Game is super fun online or offline as long as you don’t take it too seriously.

Dear diary, today I’m making another valid post that actually matters unlike all these other idiots who don’t matter because they posts things that don’t matter because they suck and I’m way better.

It’s pretty obvious they tightened up hitting added shrinkage and made the moonshot event low scoring to make getting stats harder because they hate you. Not because they are bad devs, they are singling you out specifically because they hate you and all think it’s funny you cant score in Moonshot.

Nothing is gonna change with this game until people just stop buying stubs or purchasing the game altogether. I’m getting tired of playing 30 minutes and only getting 1.5-2.5k XP. My job is stressful enough every day for long hours to keep playing this game without having fun and not getting my time compensated for enough. Other than money, I just don’t understand why SDS is trying so hard to alienate their player base. They used not to be like this. Someone different is calling the shots and pointing them in a different direction.

It’s true, a lot of the phrases they used to preach are gone as well. “The best cards need to be earned not purchased” isn’t something you hear anymore. Somewhere in the company someone else was put in charge and changed the direction.

They are now praying on the small percentage that buy stubs like most gotcha games. It’s not about getting 50$ from 100,000 people. It’s a lot easier getting 1000$ from 5000 people.

Why so dramatic with the “I’m deleting the game for a few weeks” comment

I see that often on here

Congrats on getting a console with infinite storage space. Some of us have to delete games to make room to try new games.

You see comments like this often because a lot of players are frustrated/losing interest in the game, and this is a good forum for providing feedback to SDS.

Na that’s a cop out

You could’ve easily conveyed your message by sayin I’m going to stop playing this game and play something else for a while

The whole- “i’m uninstalling the game” is used to be dramatic and to emphasize how bored you are with the game. And it’s cringe

I get having legit criticism for the game( I made a thread saying I wasn’t happy with cards being retired after x amount of time) because as much as I enjoy the game that’s something I had a hard time swallowing

But I’ve come around and I actually don’t mind building a new squad and getting their averages up like I did with my original god squad

But threads like yours are just pointless to me- like did you do everything you could do? make World Series, go flawless, become a top 1000/100/50 ranked season player? If you did and then made a thread stating that and saying you’re bored- then I get it. Because you’ve done pretty much everything the game has to offer

But you’re just bored and want people to know you’re uninstalling the game…

Lol ok? Thanks for the update

Maybe he just doesn’t care about honing his skills and making world series and being at the top of the leaderbords, some people don’t want to be competitive.

And that’s exactly why he’s bored- how much can you play the computer on rookie and still be excited about it and find fun in the game

It’s 2023- online competitive play is the crux of video gaming- for example people that buy street fighter are buying to play online against other humans- they only play the computer to unlock rewards

Compared to when we were young we would buy it and play the computer only or a friend if they were over

playing competitively you tend to want to get better at the game which is challenging but also fun and an accomplishment

If you’re just buying this game to play conquest and mini seasons then yes I can see it getting boring really quick especially if you’ve been playing it for years

The industry thought the same thing about other genres, then BOTW and Elden Ring disproved the whole "gamers just want online" [censored].

Sports studios could easily make offline/single-player content much better, but they don't. If they did, there would be an uptick of players. Just the truth.

I'll modify your statement a bit, though -- online persistent monetization modes are what companies are making. Competitive is a part of that, but not everything.

In MLBTS Ranked seasons- which is competitive play- is by far the most popular mode in the game

Online modes are the most popular modes in all SPORT games

I don’t play Elden rings and I have no clue what BOTW is

Lol franchise is literally multiple times more popular than DD. So is RTTS. Diamond Dynasty is the third ranked mode as far as popularity. And not everyone is playing ranked season in Diamond dynasty. You sound like you really wanna be correct, but you just aren’t. My Team in NBA 2k is basically non existent compared to My player. So not only is it not accurate for this game it certainly isn’t for ALL SPORTS GAMES like you wanted to emphatically claim in all caps for some reason.

Btw I only play online and was bored far quicker then him, me not writing a novel didn’t make you any less of a douche queen, so it’s safe to say him voicing his opinion to SDS doesn’t effect you. You’re an idiot all on your own.

I’ve said this for years and have been a WS player every one of those. My niece is 7 and can win on Fifa at the lowest difficulty 5-0 every game. It would take her years to be able to score five runs in this game. Not that she wants to, plays it, or has interest, but I’m sure some kids do. I’m sure some people with bad eyes, slow reflexes or mental issues wanted to try it and did for a hour at the most.

I played RTTS last night because I’m sort of waiting for Friday. I played on Allstar. I play every DD game on legend for the bonus PXP. I got pV on Bobby Witt in less than 60 at bats. I promise you I had “solid contact +5” on EVERY dynamic challenge and didn’t complete a single challenge for the bonuses through high school and have one college game left. What type of new player would have enough fun failing every challenge lol.

Who are we gate keeping from completing offline content? Kids? Retired people? Mentally disabled? What is the point….just make rookie automatic like every other sports game. They aren’t about to take over BR and win millions of stubs….thats what cheaters are doing.

I miss the old PS trophies for hitting homeruns off signs and other stuff like the supply co building in SD and the Apple in NY

They need to minimize the PCI so that the only solution to make pitchers better isn’t just give them 154 MPH pitches. Like I dunno, maybe make movement matter by not allowing me to cover 60% of the plate without moving anything? The simplest solution isn’t always the best.

I took you two weeks to come up with this? #Tylersdecline

@CCARR77_PSN said in I’m convinced that feedback means nothing:

This is the only game I know of that you can't get better by practicing.

You can't work on hitting because it's a different outcome even if the input, timing and contact is the same.

How did I just go opposite field when I swung so early that it was in the yellow on the feedback?

That's a ridiculous statement.

Two things can be true at the same time. I haven't played a game of ranked in months. I'd get smoked if I played someone on HOF. But I could (I won't) go take BP for a night on Legend and then be much better. So yes, you can get better.

AND the rng in the game can still exist.

I can such and strike out a lot, or get better and make contact a lot. Then when I make contact, the rng does its thing.

But the more I make contact, the greater my chances of winning.

100% mate

Maybe like 50%

The homeruns from non pci swings still count, as do the perfects that go nowhere. Taking months off and needing a couple hours of BP isn’t “practice” or “getting better” that’s just warming up. When’s the last time you saw a good player grinding BP for hours and hours? When they take 3 months off…that’s it. You’d be better by now if you could get better. It’s been half a decade, it hasn’t happened.

Giving out 99 overalls for a 2 run double in a losing effort lol

NOTHING should be a requirement. They don’t live up to the “play how you want” mantra they love to mention. It’s more play how you want, as long as what you want is to be required to play how we ask, and what we ask is that you play every mode.

They can’t make fun content and haven’t been able to for years. They just get a 12 year old to throw [censored] at a wall call it a conquest map and give you 50% progress towards a card.

I can’t imagine how many room temp IQ brains were needed to make that Easter egg hunt.

I don’t blame people I blame SDS. Switch hitters get an inherent advantage AND were made to be higher rated cards than all the others. Even if you don’t know of the bonuses, you would likely take the card with higher stats anyway. Most of the switch hitters have higher stats than their replacements.

They needed some lefty and righty hitters to be the higher rated cards in programs to counter it but it just wouldn’t have pushed the end collections the same way.

Could have easily made Granderson the highest card or Realmuto, but of course it was Happ. Could have made the CityScape collection Jeter or Ortiz. Had to be mantle. Could have made the flashback spotlight anyone. Had to be Chipper. Weekend classic rewards…switch hitters.

@NotesOfJohn_PSN but did you see the stub sale?

Currently the number one purchased sale item in PS store is the largest amount of stubs you can buy. Why would they fix menus lmao

@ryguy034753_XBL said:

@PriorFir4383355_XBL shut up Kyle.

He’s right. You idiots talking about Grand Larceny and Free Ohtanis for everyone or we take it to the Supreme Court sound mentally unstable.

99% of complaints are just mad they didn’t get free packs and have now spent 1200 hours for less lmao.

Could just be me but I’m starting to get the impression you like to flip cards.

Just add a pxp, xp, and stub multiplier and lower it after every quit. Raise it back after a few full games. 12 iq type of stuff.

@p0pachery_MLBTS said in I misunderstood captain boosts:

Yeah, I had a Giants bullpen with the Matt Cain captain and was hoping my other starters and my WBC Camilo would get boosts. I'm thinking pitching captains probably won't be for me, but hitting captains will come in handy for grinding team-based pxp for TA.

There are still some funky things you can do with a few. And when more cards come out it’ll be even better. Example I’m using the Nolan Ryan (+35 years old) card, and there are quite a few relievers you can sneak in with no real downside. Chapman and Kenley are like Prime versions of themselves lol. There is a 99 Darvish I have boosted to near god tier.

But the one I thought about last night was Halladay. The BB/9 and Stamina seems a bit unimpressive compared to others and for a started almost is.. But imagine a bullpen filled with them. Now you have heaters flying in with better control and you relievers go from 25 or so to 35 stamina. Again almost irrelevant for a starter but for a closer that is honestly a fairly large boost.

The Jeter card is fun as well because there are dozens of captains available. When others have as many potions as him I think it’ll be a great addition.
